  1. School reopening battles brewing, with some (Yaneer Bar-Yam, Eric Topol) arguing against in-person classes, while others (notably Avik Roy in today’s WSJ) arguing in favor.

    I believe this article by Avik Roy is behind a pay wall (I have a paper copy, as a person in my building never picks up his Saturday WSJ): https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-its-mostly-safe-to-reopen-the-schools-11596812466

    Roy fails to consider that successful school reopening in Europe occurred in countries with low test positivity (lower than 2%, except France). I think Cuomo and Baker get it right in this regard – first ensure very low test positivity, then reopen.

    1. I can’t open but based on your comment suspect I would agree.

      I cannot recall whether I shared Belmont’s reopening. It is common sense. I say that With a slight reservation as I have not having seen Their safety guidelines. But if this is an indication, I’d be surprised if I still do not agree. Belmont has always been one of the very best school systems in the state. Lexington as well and I liked their roll out approach
